Yes, that's what I meant about the strands. I am stil not sure what I do. It can't be that difficult to fix it myself. And I can allways send it to somebody who know how to fix it.

Thank you. I never realized that it could loosen the knot if the part of the wrist loop under the knot gets removed. However, if I had to remove the wrist loop I wouldn't just rip it off. I don't know why this is happening. I got it on eBay so I don't know how this could happen or what the person di...

The wrist loop on my old 10 foot Morgan is about to come off. There are only a few strands left. I don't really use that loop and naturally it has nothing to do with the proformance. But it is still annoying. I do have 2 book about whipmaking (Ron Edwards and Morgan) but untieing the knot and rebrad...

About the bends, I saw a video by Bernie securing his whip to a hook. I would never have done that with my whips if I hadn't seen that video. I think it must leave the whip a little twisted - maybee untill it has been cracked a few times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV26uP0jjhY" onclick=&quo...

After cracking the whip as much as possible (but not hard), the problem seems to be less visible or gone now. I think it was my technique with the forward crack not waiting long enough when swinging the whip up.

Martin, You said you got the whip in 2004, and have just recently gotten interested in cracking again. Did you have the whips in storage? How were you storing them? I've seen bullwhips develop a bizarre curve that seriously affects how they throw if they're coiled up in storage for long periods of ...

I think it could be from when you throw the whip forward, the thong goes off to the right, or left, depending if you are right or left handed, and the handle stays straight. Unless your strain and morgan do that, it could also be the transition was not built up right on the jack perry whip. I'm rig...

Hi, back in 2004 I got a Jack Perry 12p 8 foot Indy whip from WSP, a 12 foot Strain. And later a 10 foot Morgan fron eBay - I think is is from the late 80'ties. Just recently I got interested in cracking them again after a few years. It is the Jack Perry whip that bothers me. First of all, it is qui...
